Just wanted to try this out and say hi, I'm new to the whole straight thing and came upon this site while looking for information. I spent quite a bit of time browsing around before I decide to throw my stick in and say hi. I'm a college student in Montreal, looking to get into the straight razor scene, this seemed like the place to start, nice people, great community, what's not to love? I was thinking of looking around for a shave ready razor, stainless, maybe 5/8 or 6/8, but now I've seen The Topher's plan for a kit.... which is really great, so I might just wait and see.
Anyway, it's nice to be a part of this now, happy shaving I guess.
